They're adorable!

I wonder if there is something on Charlene's floof there? Maybe you could rinse it off and it would fully floof back up.

I will give their chin a talkin' to. Warm damp wash cloth oughta solve it. Or maybe she/he is just a "bald"chin-ian. (Anyone get that play on words?)

@2ndTink did you see the picture of the fully black one? Posey? (I still want a more majestic name for an all black bird).

Do you see silkie in there? I hope I have one silkie.

I see silkie!

Let me go back and look at the photo again and see if an inspired name pops up.

Woo! Idk if they are pure silkie, but if half silkie, is the silkie gene dominant?

No. It's recessive. But even if she has silkied feathering, it doesn't mean she's pure silkie. Case in point my girl, Ursula

She looks soft and smooth What kind of comb is that? Or is it just laying to the side so she has to flip it back like Beiber?

She is. When she doesn't go and get it wet at least. This is a straight comb!

Lol. Maybe! Wonder what breed they are. Mostly yellow with a spot or two of black. With two roosters around already, idk if keeping more roosters is a good idea. Right?

I kept 2 bantam roosters in a flock with 36 hens. It only worked because both were extremely docile and the head hen was a Jersey Giant who tolerated no crap.

My current flock has 22 hens/pullets and 6 additional pullet chicks. My current cockerel was bought as a pullet. He is the only male.

I would say no to adding more males unfortunately.

My boy Quin.

Izzy would not stay still for a photo. You can see them in the group photo though.

How about Duchess?

I named my midnight maran that, she's all black fluffy feathers with feathered feet, and I decided that would look like an elegant black ball gown. ( my imagine sometimes LoL)
But the name fits, she's the most elegant looking girl out there. Oh and she's the most demanding one too "where are my grapes? gripe grumble gripe!"
